Flexographic press device conditions in ColorFlow software have = the same plate setup and plate curve capabilities as offset press devi= ce conditions. A flexographic plate setup is identified by a combination&nb= sp;of Screening and Plate Type attributes, has one or more plate lines, and= may be associated with one or more flexographic press device conditio= ns. For output to a specific plate type, the same plate curve applies = to all separations for process and spot inks.
The response of a flexographic plate is typically measured by a system t= hat captures a camera image of a tint patch on the plate, and then per= forms an image analysis to estimate the relative area of the protrudin= g, ink-carrying surfaces. You can enter these dot area estimates into the p= late setup in ColorFlow software.
The response of a flexographic plate is considered to be continuous, and= so is the plate curve that ColorFlow software calculates to linearize= the response. The flexo discontinuity is managed by special device cu= rves.
